Symposia Community Events – November 2013
$8 Yoga Class – Every Wednesday at 7 pm

Symposia is now opening its doors to a new environment for yoga practice: small classes, taught in a supportive, non-competitive manner, with individual attention. Students will be gently guided through basic yoga postures, yogic breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
After the class, feel free to linger, have a cup of tea, chat.

Just a Dream – Children’s book reading by Celeste Fillisetti on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 5 pm
Share a wonderful adventure with your children by reading them a book. Not only do they get a chance to experience all the wonders of their imagination, but more importantly they get the chance to spend precious time with you!
Just A Dream is a story of a young girl who has a hard time falling asleep. After she finally dozes off she encounters a Sleep Princess and the real adventure begins. Grace slowly started to get out of bed, and as she put one foot on the floor she stepped on something. She looked to see what is was, and to her amazement…
To find out what Grace saw, please join Celeste from 5pm – 7pm.
Refreshments will be served!

PUPPETONIA – Puppet Shows for Babies and Toddlers
Since its inception, Puppetonia has taught children so much more than just their ABC’s and 123′s. The music and puppet shows incorporate important social skills, early academics, thinking skills, motor skills, and self-expression.
The music is fun and upbeat, and the children are encouraged to move to the rhythm, follow verbal instructions, practice sequential movements, and have a great time. And there are bubbles galore!

You will learn baby yoga techniques that will help with your infant’s sleep cycles, digestion and fussiness. Silly songs, toys, puppets, hugs, kisses and giggles make this a not to be missed class experience for you and your infant.
Gentle baby asanas and massages are also incorporated to help you learn how to calm and teach basic motor development to your baby. You will learn appropriate, therapeutic strokes for each area of the body, as well as ways to bring body awareness to your baby, without overstimulation.
Yoga practiced with your baby is a powerful way to connect with your new child and opportunity to join or create a community of new mothers and friends with similar goals and parenting styles.
